March Madness is made for upsets, and the stage is always set for a team, or two, to take the stage and be labelled a 'Cinderella team', and the Dayton Flyers have done exactly that. Firstly they beat the No. 6 seed Ohio State, and then they were faced with the task of beating the third-seeded Syracuse, which was going to be tougher than beating the Buckeyes. In yet another close battle, the teams went back and forth, with Dayton grabbing the 55-53 victory.

The Flyers have now progressed in to a stage they never thought possible, the "Sweet 16", but is this as far as they go? Point guard Khari Price said his team were one of the best in the country, and it seems they think they can progress past this stage, too. It appears Price, as well as the others, are building on their two momentum building victories.

Senior forward Devin Oliver, was their second leading scorer this season, and he's accustomed to being in the spotlight, having crossed paths with President Barack Obama before. Dayton have been a huge bracket buster and many fans have bet against them, banking on the higher ranked teams beating them, but it seems the Flyers are out to prove everybody wrong, including the President.

Did you see the potential within their roster, and how far did you have the Dayton Flyers going in your March Madness bracket? Now fans are stuck between wondering whether they've gone as far as they possibly can, or if they're just getting started. Time will tell.
